My invention has for its object to improve the construction of my improved key-ring and door-tastener,

patented May 17 1870, and numbered 103,068, so as to make it simpler in construction and more convenient and eiiective'innse; and

It consists in the construction and combination of various part-sof the device, as hereinafter more fully described.

The body of the hook or claw B is made oi' an even width or thickness from its forward orhook end, 1,

back to the point 2, thusimaking the said hook stronger and less liable to spring when the door is being shut. v

The wide part 1 2 ofthe hook B, when thepsaid hook -is closed, passes back beneath the anges arfof the parts or pieces A, to prevent the sail claw or hook from swinging out when closed.

F is a stay, secured between the parts or pieces A, to hold the said parts more securely in their relative positions, andalso to serve .as a. guide and support for the hook or claw B, when being pushed back be neath` the fianges a* of the parts or pieces A, so that the point of the said claw or hook cannot catch upon the outer edges of the flanges a5 when being pushed back into place. p

'G is a flanged lip or head formed upon the end of the spring arm E, which bears upon the ianges a?, between which the said arm passes'to keep the arrn in place, and which also bears against. the hook or claw B, 'to keep the said hook or claw from passing out of its place when closed.

Having thusl described my invention,

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. Thecombination of the guide-brace or stay F,.

with the parts or pieces A and hook or claw B, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the pur-poses set forth.

2. Thel combination of the extensions 1 2 ot' the hook or,claw B with the flanges a.4 of the parts or pieces A, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

3. The anged lip or head Gr of the spring arm E, in combination with the flanges a of the parts or pieces A, and with Jthe hook B, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.
